SYNERGY Fitness Professionals
Food Intake
Food intake is by far the most important part of reaching any fitness goal. It has been said that sixty percent of results come from what you put into your body. A healthy diet is about eating smarter, not less. You can actually eat your favorite foods and still get fit. The key is to give your body what it wants, and what it needs. In a time when fad diets are escalating and appearance is more important than ever, it can be difficult to determine nutrition fact from fiction. Ask one of our Fit Pros to take out the guesswork for you and make sure that this time is the last time. Reach your goals and keep the results with the right nutrition.
Cardio
In the fitness industry, cardio is typically associated with certain pieces of equipment. However; the cardiorespiratory system is used to either sustain or recover from all physical activity. Integrated cardiorespiratory training is simply training that involves and places stress on the cardiorespiratory system. Thus, any form of activity can be used as a form of cardiorespiratory training. Cardiorespiratory training can be used as the warm-up, cool-down, or as the workout itself. Regardless of your goals, cardio should be incorporated into your program. Don’t dread to tread. Choose an exercise you enjoy. Whether it’s a treadmill, bike, or an elliptical trainer, just do it. The Fitness Professionals at Synergy Fitness Systems can help you get maximal results with minimal effort by teaching you how to work smarter, not harder. The benefits of incorporating a properly structured, integrated cardiorespiratory training program into your workouts are more than just lowering your body fat percentage and increasing endurance. Cardio can help to decrease daily fatigue, anxiety, depression, hypertension, as well as the risk of developing chronic diseases.
Vitamins and Supplements
Depending on your goal, vitamins and supplements can be an essential component in getting you there safely and quickly. When participating in a workout program your body may require more nutrients than usual. Vitamins and supplements may boost metabolism and help give your body the vitamins that you are no longer getting from your diet. Trying to gain muscle? Vitamins and supplements may lower your chances of losing your lean body mass. Have an endurance goal? Certain supplements are designed to help increase endurance. Whatever your goal, there are vitamins and supplements that can help get you there sooner.
Flexibility Training
Flexibility training is the most important part of a workout program, yet the most neglected. A properly designed flexibility program will ensure that your muscle are working correctly, that you are using the proper muscles, burning the most calories, while reducing your chances of injury. Increase energy levels, move better, feel better, look better. Reach your goal sooner with flexibility training.
Resistance Training
Resistance training is traditionally thought of as being the “workout” portion of a fitness program. When done correctly, incorporating an integrated resistance training program into your workout can help you to increase strength, muscle tone and definition, endurance, power, in addition to causing alterations in your body’s composition. Since muscle burns more calories than fat, resistance training can help you reach your goal in half the time. It has been proven that the most effective method for lowering body fat percentage is to couple resistance training with cardiorespiratory training. Resistance training can be done on machines, however the Fit Pros at SFS prefer a combination of body weight, free weights, tubing, cables, and stability balls for their clients. There are over 3,000 exercises to do in a gym that do not involve a machine. We can help find the ones that are right for you.
